Hi, my wife has been having a urine infection for the last 2 to 3 days, and the burning sensation is not subsiding. We started her on Alkasol, and she took 2 to 3 doses, but the burning sometimes improves and sometimes comes back. A week ago, she had a severe throat infection for which she took antibiotics and cold medicines after consulting a doctor. During that time, we did almost all tests, including urine culture, urine routine, CBC, and dengue profile, but almost everything was negative, except a slight positive result in urine routine, and the culture was normal. Please advise what to do now?

Persistent burning during urination may suggest incomplete resolution of UTI or irritation from antibiotics. If the urine culture was negative, it could be a non bacterial or post antibiotic irritation. Continue Alkasol + 2 to 3 liters water daily. If symptoms persist for more than 3 days, repeat urine routine + culture, and consider a mild urinary antibiotic like nitrofurantoin (only if prescribed). Consider getting a Pelvic Ultrasound done to rule out the cause of UTI.

I am experiencing severe pain in my penis. Could it be related to conditions like erectile dysfunction, priapism, Peyronie disease, or balanitis? What tests should I get to find out the cause?

I am suffering from epididymitis for the past 3 months. I have consulted good urologists, and they prescribed antibiotics and NSAIDs. I never had swelling, only mild pain and discomfort. My urine report and USG were normal every time. But even after medications, the mild discomfort is not going. Can anyone help me?

I had my STD test done. I am attaching my report and the medicines I took. After having oral sex (only fingering and licking), I drank a lot of water. Since the last 2 days, while peeing, some particles are coming out. What does this indicate? There is no itching or burning during urination. Please help me, I am stressed. I have completed my course of medicine. I am attaching my report and medicines I took.
